I don't think so.  I bought the car which had already had the G60 conversion
done, which, BTW, was done when customers complained about UFO's warping,
gratis per Audi by dealerships all over the country within the warranty
period.  I don't think it was a mistake for the 200q20v, but I do wonder
about the V8's and UrS4's.

Bernie, if you look at my website, you'll see I use big reds with Coleman
Rotors and they stop my 200q20v more than adequately.  Hey, if the UFO's work
OK, then fine.  I think we were talking repeated stops and hard usage with
G60's here.  I wouldn't dream of running the G60's on the track :-)
